Testimonials

Managing Director – Xlent Foods Ltd "...

Andrew has been working with us since the original purchase of the business. He has been invaluable to me and the business during that time and is everything (and more) that you could wish of a truly professional consultant. I have worked with many consultants over the years and I can honestly say that this man is the best I have come across." "Andrew is clearly a highly competent financial professional, honest and highly focused, however it's the wealth of additional skills, knowledge and contacts; together with the fact that he really does treat the business as he would if it were his own, that makes him stand out above the rest in my opinion."

"I would therefore highly recommend him to any business looking for either a financial or general management consultant."
"Thank you Andy for everything you have done for us over these last three years; and for all that I know you will do over the coming years."

Group Financial Controller – Whyte Knights Group
Ford Main Dealer Group (Turnover approx. £55m)

"…Andrew’s remit was always very flexible and open allowing him the freedom to identify and correct areas of weakness in our internal control systems and operating procedures. Operating at a senior management level, communicating daily with Board members he acted with discretion and on his own initiative. Andrew’s commitment was total, demonstrating a particularly strong work ethic. Output was always punctual and accurate despite very tight deadlines and reporting constraints. Inevitably this often required him to act in conjunction with and on behalf of myself and/or the Directors in negotiations with third parties including bankers and investors, professional advisors and Government bodies. By building a suitable rapport, Andrew majored in buoying up the confidence of such interested parties to the organisation, always portraying an image of professionalism and assurance."

Andrew Martin Consulting take a common sense approach and, unlike many in the accounting profession, are able to translate complex accounting principles into meaningful management information. Andy's regular input has helped us to plan strategy based on accurate and timely financial information, and this makes him a valuable asset to the business. I recommend any business owner to talk to Andrew Martin Consulting and see how they can help you to improve your financial management information.

Managing Director of YHC Hire Services Ltd

 

In any business, sound management and accounting principals are essential for the long-term stability and prosperity of the company, even more so when the company set its goals on significant market penetration and considerable growth.

Andrew Martin of Andrew Martin Consulting came highly recommended by two separate and independent parties to me almost 3 years ago - the Corporate Relationship Manager from our Bankers and the Company Auditors,

Principally our Management accounts and cashflow models were antiquated and not providing the Board with the level of confidence required in order progress the business.  Andy’s ability to grasp the businesses requirements and understand the industry that it operates in was phenomenal and he quickly addressed our issues.

Andy has since provided hands on assistance in the due diligence and strategic work required for the company to consider acquiring two further significant businesses related to our trade.  

In short I cannot praise or recommend his skills highly enough.
